[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 28th that it will promote a voluntary labeling system for domestic kimchi, allowing easy verification of whether the kimchi used in restaurants and other establishments is domestically produced.

The voluntary labeling system for domestic kimchi certifies restaurants and catering businesses that purchase kimchi made from 100% domestic ingredients from producers and distributors or make it themselves.

This measure aims to prevent imported kimchi from being disguised as domestic and to encourage the use of domestic kimchi in the dining-out and catering industries.

The county plans to attach certification marks to establishments using domestic kimchi so that not only local residents but also visitors can conveniently check whether domestic kimchi is being used.

A county official said, "This is a measure to create an environment where consumers can eat kimchi with confidence and to expand the consumption base of domestic kimchi," adding, "We hope for active participation from dining and catering businesses."
